Ra ising the EarIy Broiiors

The most essential thing with
young chickens is warmth. Broilers
bring good prices when they reach the
market early, and no one can afford to
lose them In winter the young
chicks require much attention, but It
is the extra care required that renders
them salable at good prices, and who.
ever expects to make broilers profita.
BILE must not neglect them. The hen
must be kept in a dry, warm place,
and must not be allowed to roam with
her brood at this season She must be
so situated that every chicken can go
under her wings whenever it desires,
as few minutes exposure to severe
cold will surely prove fatal, sooner or
later.
Never feed chicks during the first
twenty four hours after Matching, as
the food simply taxes the digestive
organs, and gives no benefit; as nature
makes provision for it. Even thirty
six hours is not too long fast, Then
crumble hard- boiled egg with coarselY
ground oatmeal Feed this for only
one day, as the eggs cause bowel dis.
ease, il continued. When the chick il
two or three days old, it may receive
bread soaked in milk, cold rice thai
has been cooked, finely chopped meat
chopped onions, and regular foot
composed of equal parts of grounc
oats. corn meal and shorts, with ,
little salt rs seasoning; the mixture u
be cooked and crumbled for them. d,
not attempt to raise chickens on cor,
meal, either cooked or raw, as the,
will not thrive upon it alone, unles
with other food.
The young Of all birds feather YER
rapidly from the start, and the chick
en- is no exception; but as the raren
birds are given animal or insect food
the chicken should have a share also
at least three or four times week, a
J well as being fed otherwise four time
daily. Screenings, fine gravel, groun
shells, and bone meal should be keI
within their reach all the time, and 8
soon as wheat can be eaten it shoul
be substituted for the screenings. A
dampness is fatal to chickens, th
drinking water must be 80 given tb'
the chicken can get no portion of j
body wet, and it should be kept grow
